Virtual Kanesawa 34 Kannon Pilgrimage #9 Muroki-an Hermitage

 

     Muroki-an Hermitage used to be located where Muronoki Park is located today.

     In 1938, the Naval Flying Corps started training maintenance engineers in the Oppama Airfield.  As the Pacific War broke out in 1941, the airfield was enlarged in 1943, and Muroki-an Hermitage was abolished and the Arya   Avalokitesvara statue was moved to Tennen-ji Temple.  After World War II, the airfield was changed into a residential zone and the park.
